Coast Defences.
We sat within the sitting.room

We sat within the sitting-ro
And listened to the clock,
1t was as quiet as tomb
l heard my heart knock, knock
For, ah, | loved that pretty maid
And yet dared not speak;
And so l sat there sore afraid
Abashed, and shy, and meek.
But presently, she looked SO sweet,
swore an inward oath,
I'd ask a kiss-though sure defeat
Made me exceeding loath.
With sudden move / strove to clasp
Her trim and dainty waist
But swift she lodged my eager grasp,
Her lips ! couldn't taste.
With her white hands she held me of
These are" she smiling said,
'My coast defences-do not scoff"-
She tossed her dainty head,
And as her fair cheeks swiftly warmed,
She cried with modest air:
They're weak, perhaps, and might be
stormed"

JAILOR MANNON DISCHARGED.
Sheriff Kays Appoints Mr. Russell
to Take His Place.

Sheriff Kays yesterday discharged
Jailor Mannon and appointed Deputy
Sheriff Russell in his stead.
Sheriff Kay's action in this matter has
been approved by many of the best
citizens, who hold him entirely blame
less for the occurrences in connection
with the matter. Mr.. Kays has made
the most conscientious, faithful and un-
tiring sheriff this county has ever
possessed, and he feels that he is not
to blame for the flight of the trusty
Morris. The flight of trusted man is
not an unusual thing in any business,
and feels that he is not to blame for
what he could not forsee. Upon in
vestigation he found that Jailor Man
non had not obeyed the orders he had
given him, and for that reason he dis
charged him. Mr.. Rays selected Mr..
Russell to succeed Mannon, and the
probabilities are that Mr.. Kays will be
able to rest easier in the future than
in the past.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Small BOY Jumps Under q
Horses HOOfs.

Yesterday afternoon a small boy
named Victor Berry, narrowly es-
capped serious injury, and as it is he
will probably be confined to his bed
for some time. He was riding in a
street car, and as the corner of First
and Main streets was reached he
jumped off under the feet of horse
which he did not see. He was
knocked down but luckily the driver
of the horse, Mr.. Smith, saw the boy
in time and stopped the animal be-
fore the carriage reached his body.
The boy was carried into Aocker-
blum's drug store where he was at
tended by DR.. Kannon, who found
that the only injury was on the boys
right leg just above the ankle. The
cork OF the horses shoe had scraped
the flesh from the bone without doing
further injury. Mr.. Smith drove the
boy to his home.

. A. j. Church, the lightning mes

is very wealthy resident of Oakland,
and that while very Young he was
struck on the head with stick of
wood, since which time his mind has
been more or less affected.
Church had only just been placed
in cell when Horace lie Fever,
another demented individual of the
demonstrative kind, was ushered into
the prison and assigned to a cell di-
rectly opposite the one occupied by
Church. Even lie Fever could not
stand Church's idiotic smile, and loud
